NOT DUE TO ALCOHOL.
Dr. Claye;Shaw, presiding at a meeting of the British Society for the Study of Inebriety recently, said that many things led to crime besides alcoholism, and that crime was in the nature of man. When Cain killed Abel it was not from alcohol, but from innate crime. For the perfection of crime there were teetotallers. A clever swindler in ninety-nine cases out of 100 cases was not alcoholic. Anarchists were not alcoholic. Murder was chiefly found committed among the lower orders, and he thought it almost entirely due to environment. The lower orders had not been trained to check their impulsiveness like the higher classes had.
